)explain how the early new deal pursued the "three rs" of relief, recovery, and reform. use specific examples from new deal legislation to explain your answer.

FDR's New Deal pursued relief, recovery, and reform by creating several new government agencies.

An example of a program based on recovery is the Agricultural Adjustment Act (1933). This program paid farmers not to grow crops, as their was a surplus of food in the US. When their is a surplus, the prices of foods/goods drop dramatically. By paying farmers not to grow crops, it eliminates the surplus and allows farmers to be paid more for their foods, helping them to financially recover.

An example of a relief program is the Conservation Civilian Corps (1933). This program hired young single men between the ages of 18-25 to work on environmental projects like growing trees and preserving/building parks.

An example of a reform program was the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (1933). This organization, that still exists today, changed the banking industry. This is because it resulted in the federal government assuring citizens that the money the put into banks (up to a specific amount) will not be lost in the case of another banking emergency. Their money would be insured by the federal government.
